Salvatore Licitra’s condition doesn’t improve, says the latest hospital bulletin
The health of tenor Salvatore Licitra, still in a coma, is stable, but extremely serious. According to the reconstruction of the accident by Professor Sergio Pintaudi, head of intensive care at the Garibaldi Hospital in Catania, Licitra could have experienced a stroke before the accident. The sudden lack of blood to the brain would have made him lose consciousness. “The situation is very serious, very precarious and above all very delicate,” he said.
